Please drop this item in rural OR Premium Member Only caches. Do not place it in an urban cache or abandon it at a caching event. Transport the bug in the original plastic bag for as long as the bag lasts; the bag keeps the trackable clean and prevents tangling with other items. Otherwise, take the travel bug anywhere you wish. No permission is needed to leave the U.S.

Travel bug photos in the logs are appreciated. I will re-post them here, where they can be seen by other cachers.

About This Item

Z is the twenty-sixth and final letter of the ISO basic Latin alphabet. In most dialects of English, the letter's name is 'zed', reflecting its derivation from the Greek zeta, but in American English, its name is 'zee', deriving from a late 17th century English dialectal form. Few words in the Basic English vocabulary begin with Z, though it occurs in words beginning with other letters. It is the most rarely used letter in written English. It is more common in American English than in British English. Z is used in writing to represent the act of sleeping (sometimes as 'zzz' or 'zzzz'). It is used because closed-mouth human snoring often sounds like the pronunciation of the letter.
